Ashes 2025-26 Fantasy League.

I'm surprised I haven't had to take any of the blame for the ashes debacle

Though you did manage to curse Lyon-o.

And none of your Aussies has played every game.

indeed, but I could have cursed so many more.... maybe enough to give the England players less drinking time between tests

on the flip side, Head will certainly make my team for the BDT, so will immediately become invisible for the length of time that England spin the test out for.

Cummins and Lyon out of the rest of the series. So you're down to your boys.

[Arthur Crabtree]

But I'll do the rest tomorrow when missus is back at work.

Sorry.

[Arthur Crabtree]

I've tattooed it on my forehead (backwards) to do it tomorrow.

[Durhamfootman]

take your time Arthur. As far as I'm concerned you can do it in a few years time if you like

[Arthur Crabtree]

Next game starts tonight!

As a special bonus feature, here are the stand alone scores from the middle Test at Adelaide, named in honour of Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen, wife of King William IV, founded in 1836 and intended to be the capital for those freely settled. Now popularly known as the city of churches.

And the birthplace of Travis Head.

No worries mate. I'll have a cup of tea first.

Corrections before the end of the Melbourne Test please.

Now, how do I get that tattoo off?

[mikesiva]

But I'll do the rest tomorrow when missus is back at work.

As bfl has Starc* and Head and mike has Starc* and Archer, they should hold on to top two spots.

Let me know any corrections before I post after the next test. But not afterwards.

Archer injured.

[Arthur Crabtree]

You should have a full team out though Mike. But bfl has built up a handy lead, thanks to Travis Head.

Should get to do the update today.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Scores from the two day Test in Melbourne are generally low, though Green, Boland and Atkinson got their best totals of the series.

[Arthur Crabtree]
